What's the name of your startup or project?

Abbott & West Productions (first project: The Innocents Abroad)

Give us a brief description of your startup or project.

We're a film, TV, and media production company that makes spirited, creative, and thoughtful media for our interconnected world. All our projects are designed to embody the all-encompassing media experience that we all live on a day-to-day basis. No project is exclusive to any one format, just as you are never solely on your phone or only watching TV. We aim to give our audience a media experience that fits the way you want to consume it.
Our first endeavor is a food and travel TV/web series and media project called The Innocents Abroad. We travel around the world, going into kitchens and learning to cook traditional dishes from market to table, literally discovering a culture through its food.

What help, skills or services are you looking for?

We need help with PR (of any kinds), especially, as our new website is launching any day now. Any connections to television would be helpful, too, as we're hoping to start pitching to TV networks. Plus, we'd love to hear from anyone who wants to contribute to our website content.

Do you live or work in North Brooklyn? If not, what's your connection to the North Brooklyn community?

Currently live in South Brooklyn, but I used to live in Williamsburg, and spent[masked] working at the former Makery while with Jauntsetter.

Introduction

I'm a freelance travel writer and co-founder of Abbott & West Productions, a new kind of media production company. Our first project is the food and travel web series The Innocents Abroad. Once upon a time, I was Jauntsetter's Managing Editor.

We're about:

Formerly the North Brooklyn Breakfast Club, we've now moved to Bushwhack where there's a growing startup community. Let's make it better by meeting, sharing, and having coffee together (and happy hours too!). The New York Times also called our original gathering the "who's who of digital startups" back in the day -- so let's see who'll join us here!
